First, people who don't respect themselves are in danger of being humiliated.
This sentence comes from Liezi hypothesis, which translates as: if others don't respect themselves, then dangerous insults will come.
Second, the shape is distorted and straight.
From Liezi Fu Shuo, waste: bending, not straight. The general idea of these two sentences is: the shape is curved, and the shadow is naturally curved; When the body is straight, the shadow is naturally positive. People with high moral character will have a good reputation; Where there is misconduct, it is easy to spread bad style.
Third, if you don't study hard, you will be determined.
This sentence comes from Liezi Lieyu. Anyone who doesn't study hard must be weak in ambition.
Fourth, the ambition is weak, the spirit is strong, and there is little sadness.
The sentence "Liezi Tang Wen", translated into Chinese, is an angry man with few minds, who thinks simply and often stumbles because of arbitrariness.
Five, people have no righteousness, only food, but also chickens and dogs.
Liezi said that "people are not sages". He said that a person without real talent and learning has no knowledge, no general philosophical cultivation and insufficient cultural cultivation. "He only eats food, but also chickens and dogs." This kind of person lives to eat, no different from chickens, dogs and animals.
Sixth, it is ominous to see fish in deep water, and it is embarrassing to know hidden knowledge.
It is unlucky to see the fish in the abyss. People who are too smart to see the hidden will suffer.
Seven, the death of the road is different, and many people kill.
This sentence comes from Liezi's fable "A sheep died on a different road", which is translated as follows: the road lost its sheep because of too many forks, while the scholar ruined his life because he couldn't concentrate.
Eight, there are ways to win in the world, and there are ways to win; The way to win is soft, and the way to win is strong.
In Liezi's view, the way to win the world is weak and the way to win the world is strong. The reason is that strong means can only defeat people who are not as good as themselves, and weak means can defeat people who are stronger than themselves. Resolving contradictions with gentle methods is invincible, which is the principle of being flexible and having rigidity.
